After 7 years playing Cordelia Chase, 3 years on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) and 4 years on Angel (1999), Charisma was not invited back as a regular for Angel’s fifth and final season. She agreed to return for the 100th episode although she wasn’t asked until Sarah Michelle Gellar turned down the chance to guest star in the episode.
